Warning signs

Fellow speaker,

To see if your speech topic might cause conflict with your audience look at:
  • Historical background – problems in the past with certain topics
  • Resource issues (e.g., time, people, money) – resources needed to achieve objectives of presentation – competition for resources? Could be an issue in presentation
  • Current conflicts – personality issues
  • Trends affecting the industry or profession
Warning,

Tim
